OLPC Cost Rises To $188 Per Laptop

I’m saddened by this news…. the poor thing will be nearly twice as expensive as anticipated… still, the price may go down in the future, as it gets more support…


OLPC Cost Rises To $188 Per Laptop
Arathon writes “The amazing ‘$100 laptop’ designed by the ‘One Laptop Per Child’ program isn’t going to make it out the door for that price. CNN reports that the laptops are now expected to cost $188 apiece when they come out later this fall. This is expected to make the program’s appeal potentially much smaller, since the developers were relying on the mind-bogglingly low-price to hook governments into the concept of buying laptops for their people. OLPC’s spokesman guarantees that the price won’t rise further, to ‘above $190’. The price differential is being blamed on raw materials costs and currency fluctuation. Is this the end of the OLPC’s newsworthiness, or should we continue to hope that it will make the difference that so many have said it will?”

Stories found in this week's Cynthiana Democrat…

Well, in local news, there’s not much to speak of this week. Four stories listed on The Democrat’s website

Police make drug arrest on Wilson
Traffic backed up along Church Street in Cynthiana Tuesday afternoon as marked and unmarked police cruisers zeroed in on Robert Troy’s 101 Wilson Ave. home.

Grand jury to hear Willis case
The case of a Harrison County man accused of shooting his estranged wife has moved to Harrison Circuit Court.

ARISE, AND BE BAPTIZED: Youth opts for God’s baptistry
When Sandra Brock was seven years old, she told her parents she wanted to be baptized.

Patient treated for snake bite at HMH Wednesday
Harrison Memorial Hospital officials confirmed Wednesday morning that a snake-bite victim had been stabilized at the hospital and transferred to a Lexington hospital.

The Willis case is probably the biggest story, unless you think the story about a kid enjoying baptism is more newsworthy than the story of a man shooting his wife in the head…
Three previous articles have been written on the story… They are as follows:

Wednesday shooting: Woman shot at former RECC general manager’s home
A woman was airlifted to UK Medical Center Wednesday after being shot multiple times. The Harrison County Sheriff’s office confirmed that a call came into their office at 11:31 a.m. of shots fired in the vicinity the 716 Smith Martin Lane home o…
UPDATED: Ex-RECC chief arrested in shooting
A Harrison County woman is in UK hospital and her husband is in jail following a shooting Wednesday morning. At 11:31 a.m., the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of shots fired at the residence of Larry and Ruby Willis, 7…
Willis pleads not guilty; bond set at $500,000
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. today in the case of a Harrison County man accused of shooting his estranged wife last Wednesday morning. Larry Willis, 51, pleaded not guilty to a first degree assault charge Monday at his arraignment in…

Yeah, other than that… no news…
